Take our two-minute quiz to identify and explore your ‘mindtraps’ and gain valuable tips and practices to support you in being at your best more of the time.
At work, and indeed in life, there are moments where we are at our best and thriving, where we see things clearly, have amazing conversations and make things happen. There are other times where we are not quite at our best. These highs and lows are inevitable. But what if we told you that it’s entirely possible to be at your best more of the time, and that it’s absolutely within your control? Here’s how:
We may assume that it’s the situation – the outside world – that is determining whether we are at our best or not. But in fact, it’s what is going on inside us – our attitude and our mindset – that determines whether we are thriving or not.
Ever notice that inner voice in your head that runs a commentary on everything? Sometimes it’s supportive: ‘you can do this, this idea is great’ and other times it’s not so helpful: ‘I don’t know what I’m doing, this will never work.’ This voice is what we call our ‘self-talk.’
In times of stress, we can often fall into habitual patterns of unhelpful self-talk, telling ourselves exaggerated stories about what is happening, over and over. We call these patterns ‘mindtraps.’
The great news is that as soon as you recognise your mindtrap, it’s entirely possible to get out of it through some simple practices, allowing you to be at your best more of the time.
Which mindtraps do you go into? Take our 2 minute quiz to find out. We’ll also share some simple practices to get yourself out of it.
